摘要: 明代公案小说以《廉明公案》为典范,形成了书判体公案小说的类型特征。学界对公案小说的文学价值评价较低,根本原因在于囿乎后设的审美尺度。书判体公案小说是在明代儒学平民化、法律知识普及的时代背景下产生的,应和了社会思想潮流,同时迎合了特定的意识形态规训,因而在官方和民间得到了认可。书判体公案小说在叙事上接续宋代私情公案的文学传统,但在审美意趣上贯穿司法知识而强化了司法属性,形成不同于其他类型小说的鲜明理趣。因此,书判体公案小说知识性与叙事性相结合而具认识价值和教育价值,是其独特的历史印记,也是其独有的美学价值。

Abstract: The Ming dynasty court-case fiction, Lianming Court-case, exhibits the characteristic features of the court-case fiction of the verdict genre. The literary value of court-case fiction has been generally underestimated in academia, mainly due to the aesthetic standards established in the later periods. The verdict genre court-case fiction emerged during the Ming dynasty, a time when Confucianism was popularized among the common people and legal knowledge became widespread. It conformed to the social ideological trends and catered to specific ideological training, thus gaining recognition both officially and among the general public. The verdict genre court-case fiction inherited the literary tradition of personal affairs in private cases from the Song dynasty but, in terms of aesthetic interest, it incorporated judicial knowledge and emphasized its judicial attributes, creating a distinct thematic appeal different from other types of fiction. Therefore, the combination of informative and narrative elements in the verdict genre court-case fiction contributes to its cognitive and educational value, marking a unique historical imprint and possessing its own aesthetic value.
